I have decided to start Atkins today. I have tried it before with great success. But once I lost the weight I would always go back to my "normal" way of eating. So I am starting today with the promise to myself that I will accept this as a way of life. I will keep everybody posted on a weekly basis. Starting weight 246lbs Goal Weight 200.

Welcome!
Hopefully you'll see Atkins as "normal" eating!J.

Welcome and good luck!
This is my second time doing Atkins. The first time, I did what you described. This time, I am taking the time to learn how to do it right and make it a way of life. I am much happier this way.
Look forward to hearing your updates. While I haven't taken the time to do it (keep wanting to), there is a great section for journaling your progress if you are interested.

Re: Wish me luck!
Welcome aboard! First time, years ago, I lasted the 2 week induction & felt like I couldn't go any farther. I was sacrificing too much. This time, it's like everything snapped right into place. I'm enjoying the foods I'm eating, I'm rarely missing the old foods. And I feel soooooo good!!! Yeah, I don't think I'll ever go back to the carby life, I'm enjoying the healthier life!!!Michelle

Re: Wish me luck!
Like others have expressed here I also lost weight on Atkins, went back to my old way of eating and regained it all plus more. Now I know that I simply cannot afford to make empty carbs part of my lifestyle in any way shape or form. Welcome to the boards. There is much support here.Comment
